At Brandywine he was one of the Cavalry under the command of Count Pulaski, and was wounded in the arm.--For the last 25 years he has resided in Leacock township. He received and annual State pension of 40 dollars for the last 16 or 17 years, but had never received a pension from the United States.

He died having a firm faith in the atoning blood of his redeemer, and bore his last illness with Christian fortitude and resignation to Divine will. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=snyder&GSiman=1&GScid=341266&GRid=38338950& Wed., Nov. 19, 1845 Lancaster Examiner & Herald, Deaths, p. 3: WADE.-On the 11th inst., Mrs. Polly [WADE], consort of Mr. Joseph WADE, of Marietta, in the 56th year of her age.

When I teach classes, I remind the patrons that there is only one person who ever walked the earth that never made a mistake, and we're not Him. So even the most experienced researcher can make a mistake now and then, though depending on the resources available, hopefully those with more experience will make somewhat fewer mistakes as time goes on. Don't spazz out about it, just fix it and move on. Sometimes we learn more when we discover a mistake than we when get a family all right the first time.

Hi Grp, I copied and pasted this quote below from another post today, this is one of my biggest pet peeves also it makes trash of all your trying to get right, and steers newbies in the wrong directions, it makes my blood pressure go UP Quote: "I'm more likely to complain about the millions of undocumented names in thousands of family trees littered all over the web and unquestioningly accepted and copied. " also, I think this" IS" a Genealogy list, last time I looked, so why all the fuss abt posting documentation that may help those who need it, I don't need all those posts myself, they are too late a time frame for my Ancestors, but I do know where the delete button is enough said on that subject !!!! Where are the marriage records for the 1700's on my Moyer/Meyer family, where are all those wives names that are eluding me?? anyone on here descend from Rudolph Meyer's son John & wife Margaret (somebody?) both born abt 1720-30 ish SharR

Marie Campbell: Thank you so very much for posting all the newspaper data. After years of traveling miles, trying to find a parking space, spending hours looking in vain for any scrap of information that MIGHT lead to family data, I LOVE sitting at home (sometimes in jammies) reading your contributions. Only wish there were other angels out there posting newspaper data from other counties wherein my antecedents lived. Hitting "delete" is almost too easy a price to pay for such as you provide. Keep up the good work. Barbara

Greetings: The April 1960 edition of the Mennonite Research Journal (Vol. 1, No. 1) has an article on "Our Good Brethren", pages 11-12. A footnote # 14 references an unrecorded will for a Jacob Good at the "Salunga Archives". Can anyone shed light on what/where are these "Salunga Archives"? I am aware of Salunga in Lancaster County, next to Landisville, but cannot discern where such archives may be or where kept. The Jacob in question is referred to as the son of Christian Good (d. 13 Aug 1757) of Bowmansville. Dale Good

In 1838, Cocalico Township was divided into East Cocalico, West Cocalico & Ephrata townships. In the newspaper marriage notices, some of the place names mentioned are not in use today. For example Lower Leacock, is simply called Leacock. Another marriage referred to West Strasburg, which to my knowledge is not an official place designation.
